How to fix a listing problem with CSV on Tkinter

I need help with making a set of buttons where the first button would say Camera 1 all the way to the seventh button which would say Camera 7. From what I see in my code, all 7 buttons just take the last line of the CSV file which is Camera 7. Is there a way where I can have each button have its distinctive name?

I tried changing around the list in line 24, but I'm not sure how

This is my python code:

import tkinter.messagebox
root = Tk()
root.title("Video Equipment Reservation System")

infile = open('CamCSV.txt','r')
for line in infile:
    data = line.split(',')
    button = list()
    for i in range(7):
        button.append(Button(text=data[1], background=data[2]))
        button[i].grid(row=0,column=i)

and this is my CSV file

cam,Camera 2,green,0
cam,Camera 3,green,0
cam,Camera 4,green,0
cam,Camera 5,green,0
cam,Camera 6,green,0
cam,Camera 7,red,0

Each button should be different.

Delete the second for loop. You read the first line, then you make 7 buttons with the information from that first line. Each time you read a new line, you rewrite those 7 buttons. Instead, make one button each time you read a line.

button = list()
i = 0
for line in infile:
    data = line.split(',')
    button.append(Button(text=data[1], background=data[2]))
    button[i].grid(row=0,column=i)
    i += 1
